Review

The twenty-third James Bond film, ''Skyfall'' is full of marvelous entertainment. From it's early scenes to it's last scenes, it provides lots of actions, excitements, and adventures. Simply marvelous!

This is the third film where Daniel Craig plays the character of James Bond, the previous two being ''Casino Royale'', and ''Quantam of Solace''. Judi Dench also reprises her role as M, the Head of MI6. This is the seventh James Bond film where Dench plays M.

The first scenes are enough to build up the excitement, as we see James Bond chasing Patrice, who has stolen a computer hard drive containing a list of agent embedded in terrorist organizations across the world. They struggle on the roof a train, and taking M's command, Eve (an agent who is assisting Bond) shots targetting at Patrice, but sadly the bullet hits Bond, who falls off the train, and people believe him to be dead.

Meanwhile M is thought to be irresponsible and is told to retire. In the mean time, Bond is still alive, and returns after learning that an explosion destroyed M's office. He decides to help M. After proving through some tests that he is capable, he is able to track down the man who has the hard drive, and encounters the man- a man from M's past, a man who intends to take revenge from M and kill her because...

The marvelous film will, almost at all of the scene, keep you entertained, and it is never predictable. You keep staring the screen with concentration, thinking ''What will happen next? What will happen next?" The climax scenes at Skyfall are pretty amazing, and without revealing anything, I liked the parts how they prepare for defenses.

Perhaps I have nothing negative to say about this film. In spite of the long running hour, 2 hours, 23 minutes, I didn't feel bored. But what I think is it would have been a little better if the last fight scene would have been a little shorter, but yet that doesn't affect the movie much. It remains a pretty exciting experience.

Daniel Craig as secret agent James Bond (007) is pretty much excellent in his role, and Judi Dench in her supporting role as M is wonderful. As the hardworking M whose life is in danger as the antagonist of the film is intending to take revenge from her, she gives a truly very amazing performance. I liked how Bond protects M.

As the antagonist of the film, a brilliant performance is given by Javier Bardem. Naomie Harris as Eve is amazing. Ralph Fiennes plays Gareth Mallory, chariman of the Intelligence an
Secuirity Committee. I also liked Ben Whishaw, as Q, a quartermaster and a very intelligent character. Then there is Albert Finney, as James Bond's gamekeeper who has been, for a long time, taking care of the house where Bond grew up. Ola Repace is present as Patrice. There is also a brief appearance of Helen McCrory.

Overall, pretty exciting and wonderful movie! Full of actions and adventures, this movie is marvelous! It is engrossing, exciting, and overall, brilliant.
